Is it possible to use structs in classes and if so, how?

In case anyone was wondering, structs are basically like classes but they can only hold data types and variables. I tried putting a struct into a class but I could not make use of it. So is this possible, or is it all just a pipe dream.

If you're talking about C++, struct behaves exactly like class, you can use inheritance, declare functions, etc. The only difference is that struct default access modifier is public, while class is private. Though, I'm not sure I understand your question, whether you're talking about defining a struct inside a class, or having a struct as one of the class member. Either way, both are possible

Mike The great Sage Like I said, it's possible and it's the same like having class as member in another class Example: struct SomeStruct { ... }; class SomeClass { ... private: SomeStruct str; };

Thank you for clarifying the abilities of structs, my main question is how would someone go about making and using structs as a member of a class. Would it be the same as making a class a member or would it be different from a class.

Struct could be a class member but not inherited. Right?
